Summary

  • Cancellation/expiration messages for tornado and severe thunderstorm watches were plain text, giving no visual way to tell which watch was ending.
  • Cache the watch's SPC graphic path (keyed by watch number) whenever it's downloaded during issuance or the upgrade/backfill poll.
  • Reuse that cached graphic on the cancellation embed instead of re-fetching — SPC frequently pulls or replaces the graphic shortly after a watch ends, so a live re-fetch at cancellation time is unreliable.
  • Falls back to the existing text-only message when no graphic was ever cached.

Test plan

  • python -m pytest tests/test_watches.py tests/test_state_split.py -q — 51 passed, including two new tests covering the cached-graphic and no-graphic cancellation paths
  • python -m pytest tests/ -q — full suite, 1001 passed
  • pre-push hooks (ruff, mypy, cargo fmt/clippy, AI-attribution scan) all green

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Cancellation and expiration alerts for tornado and severe thunderstorm watches now reuse the graphic captured when the watch was issued.
    • Cached graphics are automatically cleaned up when watches are no longer active.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Alerts fall back to text-only messages when no graphic is available.
    • Watch and graphic state is preserved if an alert cannot be sent.

Cancellation/expiration posts were plain text, giving no visual way to
tell which watch was ending. Cache the watch's graphic path (keyed by
watch number) whenever it's downloaded during issuance or the
upgrade/backfill poll, and reuse it on the cancellation embed instead
of re-fetching — SPC frequently pulls or replaces the graphic shortly
after a watch ends, so a live re-fetch at cancellation time is
unreliable. Falls back to the existing text-only message when no
graphic was ever cached.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Watch image paths are cached during watch posting, exposed through bot state, and reused for cancellation messages. Cached images are removed after cancellation or active-watch cleanup. Failed sends restore the watch state and cache entry. Tests cover graphic and text-only cancellations.

Changes

Watch graphic lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Watch image cache state
utils/state.py
PostingLog stores cached watch image paths. BotState exposes the cache. sweep_active removes entries for inactive watches.
Watch image capture
cogs/watches.py
Upgrade, immediate posting, slow polling, and automatic polling flows cache validated non-placeholder image paths.
Cancellation graphic delivery
cogs/watches.py, tests/test_watches.py, CHANGELOG.md
Cancellation handling validates and consumes cached images, sends timestamped embeds when available, restores state after failed sends, and documents and tests the graphic and text-only paths.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f672d

Cancellation messages now reuse cached watch graphics, but an in-flight upgrade can repopulate the cache after cancellation, potentially showing the wrong graphic for a later watch with the same number or updating a cancelled message. This concrete correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge; cache loss during posting or failover can also reduce graphics to the text-only fallback.

Cover failed cancellation sends.

The current test covers successful delivery only. Add a case where channel.send fails and assert that both active_watches and watch_image_cache are restored. This protects the retry behavior in the cancellation path.

Cancel or invalidate the upgrade task before consuming the cache.

The cancellation path removes the cache and then awaits safe_send. An in-flight _upgrade_watch_embed task can resume during that await and write watch_image_cache[watch_num] again at lines 244-246 or 320-321.

A successful cancellation can therefore leave a stale image entry. A later watch with the same number could use the wrong graphic. Track upgrade tasks by watch number and cancel or invalidate them before cache consumption. Also prevent a late upgrade task from editing the cancelled message.

Also applies to: 320-321, 486-488, 502-528

Preserve image-cache entries for pending immediate posts.

_post_watch_now_inner stores watch_image_cache[watch_num] before safe_send() completes, while active_watches is populated later by the NWS poll. sweep_active() can run during safe_send() and remove the cache entry. Preserve cache entries for pending posts, or track the pending lifecycle separately.

Handle watch_image_cache during promotion.

to_dict() is not used by failover, and its key set is intentionally fixed. _rehydrate_bot_state() leaves watch_image_cache empty, so later cancellations can be text-only. Persist and restore a portable cache reference, or document and test this fallback.
